He wasn't ready. Even if he hadn't already felt the reality of his inadequacy in his gut, he had been told outright moments ago by the poxy, shriveled gelding in front of him that he didn't meet the qualifications to become a Sage.
"You simply do not have the experience serving the clans that you need to fully understand Famine's most demanding role!" The elder Sage huffed and crossed his arms, clearly under the impression that the subject was closed. It was. For now. He hadn't come here to actually take the test anyway, merely to ask if there was any way to prepare for it, any way to lessen his apprehension at the very thought of taking such a presumptuous leap. He supposed he had received his answer in a way, even if he didn't like how it had been delivered. A pleasant, "It is difficult, but if you do enough chin-ups and eat a couple of humans, you'll be fine," would have been far more tolerable.
Mmur forced his hands from fists to flat, smiling in mock delight as he bowed and walked away. He heard a shuffling to his left as he exited the cavern, and when he turned to see what had made the sound, there was a flash of something silver as a large, heavy mass slammed into him.

He wouldn't have regained consciousness quite so quickly if it hadn't been for the smell. A fetid funk wafted past the reluctant scavenger, prompting him to sit up quickly, despite the pain in his limbs and head. It was dark, wherever he was, and someone was chuckling.
"What are you laughing at?"
"You, little soldier."
"Scavenger." He might not have liked the title all that much, but in the weeks since he'd earned it, Mmur had seen for himself the kind of respect it brought.
"Is it now?" the voice drawled. "And which will you be tomorrow? Soldier or scavenger or sage? Will you try for alchemist as well?"
Mmur remained silent, his darkening cheeks hidden by the shadows. He had been planning on doing just that. "Maybe I will. But I will end a sage. And I will always be a soldier."
The shadowed figure seemed to consider this. It took in and released several audible breaths, and when it spoke again, its words were colored with amusement. "If you're serious, you're going to need some practice."
Mmur heard the faint click of something coming undone, then felt a breeze whisper past his face. He crouched slightly but remained otherwise still, staring into the darkness with confusion in his glowing eyes. The breeze returned, only this time it brought with it a blade.
